Top MCX Commodities Explained | Contracts, Lot Sizes & Expiry

Which commodities can you actually trade in India, and how do you choose between them? A complete breakdown of MCX and NSE commodities: contracts, subcontracts, lot sizes, price drivers, expiry and settlement. Geopolitical tension in the Middle East and Crude Oil moves. An extreme winter forecast in the US and Natural Gas reacts. The Fed cuts rates and Gold responds. Global manufacturing picks up and Copper follows. Same market. Completely different triggers. That's the thing most people miss when they start trading commodities. They're all commodities on paper, but every single one demands its own method of analysis. Track crude inventories all you like, they will tell you nothing about Gold. CA Suraj Bakliwal walks through what's available to trade on MCX and NSE, and what actually moves each one.
